Chapter 75 Veterans

Inside the gate of the dormitory, there is a public activity area as usual. There is also a small ecological flower bed in the activity area. The flower bed is exactly four meters long and four meters wide. There are not only flowers and plants in it, but also small ornamental shrubs.

There are light green signs on these flowers and trees, indicating that this is a specially cultivated variety, which has a flowering period but does not need pollination, and will not bear fruit.

These plants are perfect as ornamental plants.

Gong Chuanguo led Wang Ping'an and his party into the public activity area, where the soldiers of the second carrier-based combat boat detachment were already waiting.

Some people were reading, some were playing table tennis, and some were holding musical instruments, as if they were helping each other tune the tune, surrounding the only tuner.

Wang Ping'an's eyes were all on those people playing music.

At this time, a short lieutenant colonel came out of the detachment leader's office, arranging his clothes as he walked.

Wang Pingan's eyes were all attracted by the gold star on the lieutenant colonel's chest.

He couldn't help muttering: "Could it be possible to wholesale gold stars here?"

The lieutenant colonel looked at Wang Pingan: "Oh, there are two silver stars among the newcomers, you should be partners, right?"

Wang Pingan stood at attention: "Report, yes!"

"Well, you line up, let me take a closer look at who is adding to me." The lieutenant colonel said and immediately gave the command, "Look to the right~ all, look forward! Stand at attention! Straddle!"

Wang Pingan and others lined up in a row, with their feet spread apart and their hands behind their waists.

The lieutenant colonel walked past the queue, looked at them one by one, nodded after reading, and asked, "What do you know? You, tell me!"

He ordered parapas.

"I graduated from the London School of Space Flight..."

"No, that's not what I asked."

"Then... I am proficient in the operation of small combat boats..."

"I don't need you to know this, anyway, we will teach you." When the lieutenant colonel was speaking, the astronauts who had just been doing their own things gathered together, "I asked you what musical instrument you know, and the bagpipes you carry mean you Will it blow right?"

Parabas looked puzzled: "That's right, I'm pretty good at bagpipes."

"Very well, you are good. So what can you do?" The lieutenant colonel was referring to Parabas's partner Yoram Keene.

Yoram: "I thought we were here to fight pirates."

"No no, it's just our job to fight pirates, and the job will always end, only the music will last forever, understand? I understand, you can't do anything. What about you, miss?"

Angeli, the only female among the six supplementary soldiers, said, "I can sing."

"Really? Then you have a moment."

Angeli came to a section of "Green Grass by the House" which she adapted.

"Very good, very good," the lieutenant colonel was overjoyed, and his eyes turned to Wang Ping'an in a logical manner, "Then what about this partner comrade, what would you do?"

"I can play the guitar, but I didn't bring a guitar with me."

"That's a pity."

"I also watched "The Veteran Comes Out."

The lieutenant colonel froze for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! Then you must understand my style of managing troops. Yes, I have admired the heroic commander 'Conductor' in the movie since I was a child. His landline is still the same as his landline, using staves as his personal logo!"

Wang Pingan: "So it was really based on that. I thought the hero in the movie was reborn into modern times."

Lieutenant Colonel: "It would be great if it was true, and the pirates would be in trouble. It's a pity that he didn't have it. He lived in the era of fighting against the Germans. Hello, Comrade Dai Yinxing, my name is Nicolas Pantelai Lieutenant Colonel Jevich Karamazov is your detachment leader."

The detachment leader introduced himself first, which caught Wang Pingan unexpectedly, and he quickly introduced himself: "I am Lieutenant Wang Pingan, and this is my partner, Second Lieutenant Angele de Leon."

After speaking, Wang Pingan wanted to salute, but when he saw Karamazov stretching out his hand, he switched to shaking hands.

After shaking hands, Wang Pingan said, "Your surname is Karamazov..."

"There are quite a lot of surnames in our area. Why can't Dostoevsky write a landlord called Karamazov, and we all change their surnames? There are also poor peasants with the surname Karamazov."

Wang Pingan nodded and asked again: "Then what shall we call you? Do we call you Comrade Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Pantelevich like the Russians?"

I don't know why, when Wang Pingan said this, the veterans of the detachment laughed.

"No, you don't have to call me that, just call me Nicholas. In formal occasions, call me Comrade Commander. Okay, let the others introduce themselves one by one, starting with you, ma'am, although your partner just now I introduced you."

Angéli nodded: "I am Second Lieutenant Angele de Leon, my eyes are a natural defect, I am short-sighted. No more."

Wang Pingan: "You plan to emphasize your short-sightedness in your self-introduction in the future, right?"

"Of course, after all, as long as the military police catch me, they will definitely ask about the glasses."

There was a tall, thin guy in Lao Fei who was like a bamboo pole. Hearing what Angeli said, he imitated the tone of a military police and asked loudly: "Quickly tell me! Why do you wear glasses, and what are your plans!"

Another person echoed: "This must be a transmitter for sending messages to Peter Liula's gang! Wear it on the bridge of your nose and make a show of it!"

Wang Pingan raised his eyebrows: "What is the Petliura gang?"

"Our detachment uniformly calls pirates like this." Nicholas replied, "It's very exciting for us to sing some old songs."

As he spoke, he spoke without warning. It was a tenor voice: "A bonfire was lit on the distant river bank, and the sunset glow disappeared into the clear night sky~"

The other veterans began to give harmony to Nikolai.

"Ride on the horse, carry the spear on your back, and the young Budyonny soldiers set off~"

The musical instruments began to enter, and seeing that an impromptu concert was about to start, Nicholas made a gesture of acceptance: "Stop, stop, the self-introduction of the new comrades is not over yet, don't sing. There will be time to sing .It's your turn, comrade with bagpipes."

Parabas directly equipped bagpipes and blew a song "The Cameronians Are Marching".

Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai: "Good blowing, but we still need you to introduce yourself."

"Huh?" Parabas looked at the lieutenant colonel in surprise, "I thought everything was in the music..."

"Yes, music can convey a lot of things, but you can't tell us your name. If you don't say it, it's okay, we will call you a Cameronian in the future."

Gong Chuanguo: "It's a good feeling as a radio call sign."

Clement: "I understand. His behavior is very similar to that crazy Jack in England in the last war. I forgot his full name. Let's call him Jack from now on."

Parabas put away the bagpipes and replied: "My name is Parabas Coronel. Of course, there is no problem calling me Jack. I especially admire the crazy Jack. I am British, but my spiritual hometown is Scotland."

Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas: "I can see that the people who have joined us are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons. So what about the next comrade?"

In this way, self-introduction proceeded one by one.

After Abdul's partner, Onofre Portes, had finished introducing himself, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai turned to the veteran astronauts of the second team: "We're next. Let's start with you, Clement. "

The veterans introduced themselves one by one.

After they finished their introduction, Wang Pingan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't you say that there are four Chinese people in the detachment? You also said that I am the fifth of the Eight King Kongos. Why is there only one Gong Chuanguo and the other three?"

Lieutenant Colonel Nicholas looked at Wang Ping'an, with his hands on the armed belt around his waist, looking like a Peking opera actor who was holding his belt because he was about to walk on stage.

"Didn't Comrade Gong Chuanguo tell you? The other three Hua Guo comrades died in the last combat mission." The lieutenant colonel said in a calm voice, "Okay, let's get you a guitar, you and I Come on. Other comrades can rest now, the veterans will enthusiastically teach you the tricks of surviving here."

After finishing speaking, Nicholas patted Wang Ping'an on the shoulder, and led him to the door they just passed.

Wang Pingan glanced at Parabas and the others who had disbanded and walked towards the veterans, and trotted to catch up with the lieutenant colonel.

Seeing this, Angeli also followed in the footsteps of the two of them.

After leaving the detachment dormitory, the lieutenant colonel joked, "Aren't you planning to separate for a moment? Just entered the period of passionate love?"

Wang Ping'an and An Geli denied together: "No."

"Hmph, I'm not an instructor, and I don't have those psychological skills, so I can't tell the truth of what you said. But I have a local method, Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, the people in the team want to pursue Second Lieutenant Angeli, what will you do?" think?"

Wang Pingan: "I will follow her personal wishes. Now is the era of free love."

"Haha!" The lieutenant colonel laughed, "I understand, so I understand. Don't worry, you stick together like this, no matter whether you are true or not, everyone will treat you as a couple, and no one will be ignorant .Second question, Lieutenant, how good is your guitar skills?"

"Uh, how should I put this..."

"Dragon Force's Through the Fire, can you play the guitar solo in it?"

"This should work." Wang Ping'an replied, "I have specially practiced for five weeks, no problem, Comrade Commander."

"Okay!" The lieutenant colonel led the two into the workshop of a factory.

The production of missiles is in full swing in the workshop, a long row of printers is printing various parts of the missiles, and workers in red military uniforms are patrolling among the printers.

On the other side of the workshop, the formed missile components are assembled with the propellant columns and warheads shipped from outside.

The lieutenant colonel stopped a worker and said, "Davarish, where is Lao Yan?"

"Hey, isn't this the commander of the second detachment? Where is Lao Yan!" The worker pointed to a printer that was being repaired in the distance.

"Thank you." After the lieutenant colonel finished speaking, he walked towards Lao Yan, and after approaching a distance of three meters, he said, "It seems that the problem has almost been ruled out."

"Yes." The repairing red army uniform replied, "It's just a small mechanical failure."

"Then make something for me to verify that this thing is working properly?"

"here we go again……"

"Don't worry, what I want to play is much simpler than a missile. It can be formed in one piece. Give me a guitar."

The red uniform looked up at the lieutenant colonel, then at Wang Ping'an and Angeli, and said, "Who is it for?"

"Boy."

"Hmph, doesn't that girl play an instrument?"

"I'm in charge of singing." Angeli said, and then casually hummed to the grass beside the house.

The worker named Lao Yan sighed a long time: "I haven't seen what the real grass looks like for three years. They are all ornamental grasses like those on the space station. But I will go back for vacation in two days. Follow the Endeavor, which just entered port today."

Wang Pingan: "He came with us."

The worker closed the access door of the printer and stood up, began to input data on the interface, and said while inputting: "If you come one day late, I will stop working. It is a coincidence that you are in time. Is the guitar supposed to be normal?"

The lieutenant colonel looked up at Wang Pingan.

Wang Ping'an shrugged: "It's just normal. It should be said that I have never played a special guitar."

Lao Yan: "Do you have any preferences when playing? For example, playing the guitar with your teeth. Or doing seppuku with the guitar."

Wang Pingan: "What the hell?"

"Isn't there a band in Japan, the lead guitarist has Wakizashi in his guitar."

Wang Pingan raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a cool thing? Then please hide a lightsaber in my guitar, the kind that buzzes when you swing it."

Angorie patted him: "Okay, don't make trouble."

Instead, Lao Yan laughed loudly: "You guys feel good, like my son and daughter-in-law."

Wang Ping'an and An Geli looked at each other, and then denied together: "No, no, we are just colleagues!"

Angeli: "It's a comrade-in-arms."

"Okay, yes." The old worker entered the data, selected the style of the guitar, and pressed the printout, "Okay, if it's just a guitar, it will be finished in an hour. You can wait here, or go for a walk first." One lap."

Wang Ping'an asked worriedly, "Where did the materials for this print come from?"

"Don't worry, the production efficiency is high now, and there is not so much waste, but it is still very impressive to collect all the waste, so we recycle and reuse the waste to give everyone something."

As he spoke, Lao Yan took out his pipe.

"After all, watching you fight pirates to the death, watching good lads turn to dust in the universe and send the rest home in little tin boxes painted with black tulips, we think, what if It would be nice if the little box could be a little heavier.

"So I don't know from which generation of workers, it has become a tradition for workers to use scraps to help you make gadgets. Of course, you will say that we are also soldiers, so we have to help you, right?"

Lao Yan took a big puff of his pipe, exhaled a big smoke circle, and then sighed a long time: "When will the pirates be wiped out?"

Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai: "Yes, there will be a day. I never doubted it."
